Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

(From two years ago, but relevant to the Tina Peters trial this week.)
Have a blessed day.
Trust In The Lord And Do Good. My Morning Bible Read Was Psalm 37. Theme: " Trust in the Lord and wait patiently for him to act. This psalm vividly contrasts the wicked person with the righteous." God Is Working To Restore Our Righteousness.
I am confused with the John 16:10. Why is righteousness bad? (Or atleast thats how it comes across to me).
John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Reproving the world because they don't accept the righteous one. The world would rather kill righteousness, than have it in their face. The Christian recieves the righteous one, the world does not.
That is the kósmos...............the prince of this world orders the kósmos.
Also known as Babylon in Revelation.
The children of God desire righteousness, which is perfection, which Jesus Christ brings his people, his Church, his body.
